  1. Good riddance! I hope this is the last we hear of Wada. Most players felt like they were playing for his personal team. Cheers Faz!!! Hooray to all potential national team players. This is your opportunity to bounce back on merit. The next on the chopping block is Beston, his reasoning sense is extremely poor and below par; a bench warmer at Nkana suitable for national team, sounds like bullshit to me.

  2. Faz should look for a foreign coach. This local coaches are very corrupt. They accept bribes from managers who would like their players to get international caps. This is because of poverty.

  3. Sad reading. All the best Wada in your future assignments. I know you tried your best despite achieving less.

  4. AK becarefull next time dont give somebody a 3 years contract without any
    form of probation.
    That alone showed that AK has alot to learn in football administration

  5. He should have been fired after Chan Exit…These local coaches are not ready for the national its like they are corrupt,they are so arrogant treating national team like a club..Check Lwandamina,Wada and now Beston there selection z so poor veeri narrow minded!!
